Media Use
Media is one of the most important methods of teaching and learning. Our classroom uses every method we can use to help students learn. This may include books, music, video, and other multi-media. Parents should have the final say on what materials their children are exposed to. In our class, a parent may veto any books or media and provide a comparable alternative approved by the teacher. Parents are encouraged to review this page periodically as media may be added to the list from time to time.
